I guess I've had a million dolls or more

I'm goin' to buy a Paper Doll

"Paper doll"

I guess I've had a million dolls or more
I guess I've played the doll game
O'er and o'er
I just quarreled with Sue,
That's why I'm blue
She's gone away and left me
Just like all dolls do

I'll tell you boys
It's tough to be alone
And its tough to love a doll
That's not you own
I'm thru with all of them,
I'll never fall again
'Cause this is what I'll do.

I'm goin' to buy a Paper Doll
That I can call my own.
A doll that other fellows
Can not steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies
That are real.

When I come home at night
She will be waiting,
She'll be the truest doll
In all this world
I'd rather have a Paper Doll
To call my own,
Than have a fickle-minded
Real live girl.
